Click on the relevant Demoor Upgrade button and download the Opus
msi file.
Double click on the downloaded Opus msi file and follow the instructions to install the software into the standard
OpusFSI (or OpusFSX) directory.

The Opus software must be installed using the Opus msi installation file on your designated main
sim server system (your primary sim 'flying' computer) and each of your
optional client sim systems. You may install the software onto any drive
provided its folder name is OpusFSI (or OpusFSX) with the exception that you must not install
Opus in
the Opus Software, FSX, Prepar3D or Program Files folders, and don't install in more than one folder on your
PC.

To install the software on your optional client systems, refer to The Opus
Network section below.

Purchasing Opus

Click on the relevant Purchase button and download the Opus
Flight1 Purchase exe
file. You may get some warning messages from your virus checker at this point which is quite normal for this file type and as a result the installation window may be hidden behind your browser window.

If you have previously installed the Demo then uninstall it via Control Panel, Uninstall a
Program, do not delete your OpusFSI (or OpusFSX) folder containing your camera and system
configuration files.

You only need to unwrap the purchased 'exe' file on your designated server system.
You will find the Opus msi installation file in your 'unwrapped' c:\Opus Software
folder.

N.B. You need to keep your Flight1 license and key files on drive C in the
C:\Opus Software folder, but can move the msi file to another drive.

The client systems are unlicensed and do not require license or key files. Do NOT unwrap the purchased 'exe' file on your client systems, it is not required. Neither do you need to create, or copy, the c:\Opus Software folder onto your client systems. This folder contains the license and key files which are ONLY needed on the server system.

The Opus software must be installed using the Opus msi installation file on your designated main
sim server system (your primary sim 'flying' computer) and each of your
optional client sim systems. You may install the software onto any drive provided its folder name is
OpusFSI (or OpusFSX) with the exception that you must not install
Opus in
the Opus Software, FSX, Prepar3D or Program Files folders, and don't install in more than one folder on your PC.

To install the software on your optional client systems, refer to The Opus
Network section below.

Upgrading OpusFSX to OpusFSI

Click
on the Upgrade OpusFSX to OpusFSI button and download (save) the OpusFSI
Upgrade Purchase exe file. You may get some warning messages from
your virus checker at this point which is quite normal for this file
type and as a result the installation window may be hidden behind your
browser window.

If you have previously installed the OpusFSI Demo then
uninstall it via Control Panel, Uninstall a program. Do not delete your
OpusFSX or OpusFSI folder containing your camera and system
configuration files.

Run the OpusFSI_Upgrade_Purchase.exe file.

You will now find the OpusFSI.msi installation file in
your 'unwrapped' C:\Opus Software folder. N.B. You need to keep your
Flight1 key and licence files on drive C in the C:\Opus Software folder
but can move the msi file to another drive.

Double click on the OpusFSI.msi file and follow the
instructions to install the software into the OpusFSI directory. You may
install the software onto any drive provided its folder name is OpusFSI
with the exception that you must not install OpusFSI in the Opus
Software, FSX or Program Files folders, and don't install in more than
one folder on your PC.

Upgrading Opus

Release Upgrade

If you have previously purchased Opus and want to upgrade to
the latest Release version then click on the relevant Upgrade button and
download the Opus msi file. Uninstall the old software before
installing the upgrade via Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, do not delete
your OpusFSI (or OpusFSX) folder. Double click on the Opus msi file and follow the instructions to install the
software upgrade.

All your original configuration (DAT and CMD) and camera definition
(CAM, LIM and CDF) files will remain
intact in the OpusFSI (or OpusFSX) folder but it is a good idea to take a backup of your camera files anyway in case they get corrupted (this may happen when you revert to a previous version with a different CAM format).

To install the software on your optional client systems, refer to The Opus
Network section below.

Beta Upgrade

Click on the Beta button and download the Opus Beta
msi file.

Install as per the Release upgrade above (by
uninstalling first).

The Opus Network

If you are going to set up a networked system you will need to install the simulator and scenery onto your client
systems.

The Opus network is created by running the FSXSERVER program on the main (host) Flight Simulator
PC, and running the FSXCLIENT program on each
of the optional client PCs.

Installing the Opus
Software on the Client PCs

If you wish you can copy the Opus msi installation file onto your optional client systems and double-click on the file to install the
software, but you must uninstall the old software first via Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Double click on the
Opus msi file and follow the instructions to install the software.
Alternatively, you can simply create an OpusFSI (or OpusFSX) folder on each of your client PCs and simply copy the files and sub-folders across from the server's
OpusFSI (or OpusFSX) folder. You only need to copy the DLL and EXE files across from the main folder, along with all sub-folders (e.g. the Themes sub-folder). Take care not to corrupt your DAT,
CMD and camera files on the client PCs which contain your client's current configuration and operational data.

Each of your computers must be able to 'see' each other over the local area network. The
Opus software will make efficient use of any speed of network without you configuring anything else other than the IP addresses, but the faster the network the better.

You can monitor the connection status on the main form display of the FSXSERVER program, and each of the FSXCLIENT programs. In each case, the Application Links will turn green when a connection is made. Note, the server will allocate two or three links for each
Live View client, one link for each of the possible Live View Position & Attitude, and
Live Weather connections.

To configure the system simply run the FSXSERVER and FSXCLIENT programs on their installed PCs (you don't need to run
the sim for this purpose). Click on the Configure button on the main dialog (form) display and configure the appropriate options.

For the FSXSERVER program you must specify how many Live
View client computers you will be using. You can also enable and specify the required options for the supported device drivers. Click OK when done and the server program will prepare all necessary communication links.

Repeat the exercise for each FSXCLIENT program. In this case you must specify the network identity (either the IP address or computer name) of the main server, that is, the PC running the FSXSERVER program. You can also specify other options to enable the various client features (e.g.
Live Camera control). Click OK when finished and the client will prepare all communication links and attempt to connect to the networked FSXSERVER program.

Please refer to our Getting Started Single PC
and Getting Started Networked PCs
guides for further details.

Camera definition files (CDFs) containing various camera
views for an aircraft can be imported into Live Camera. Click on the links
below to download the CDF file to a suitable location on your PC and click on
the Import button within the Camera Control dialog.
Edit
the camera views to create your key/button assignments for the views.Camera views with matching names and aircraft lists are updated using the imported view but your existing key/button assignments
will be preserved.
